Style Pick: Senior Moment

“My name is Ari Seth Cohen. I roam the streets looking for New York’s most stylish and creative older folks. Respect your elders and let these ladies and gents teach you a thing or two about living life to the fullest.” So reads the introduction to Advanced Style, a blog dedicated to the sartorial savvy of the young at heart, written by a man who’s yet to clock thirty. Cohen, a former art history student, grew up in San Diego, where his best friend (and, one presumes, his fashion icon) was his grandmother Bluma. He writes of his subjects, “By dressing up they can share their art with the world and bring their aesthetic into the public sphere. They become living works of art by setting up a dialogue between themselves and the spectators who receive enjoyment from their colorful expression.”
